Chilli Chicken House

I haven’t had hakka chinese food, especially chilli chicken in ages. I used to go to China Garden on Airport Road regularly when I worked around that area. I have tried a few places closer to home, but I wasn’t crazy about any of them.

Yesterday, we were looking for something interesting to eat around Creditview and Burnhamthorpe area. We noticed a new hakka place right beside Bubble Republic Tea House called Chilli Chicken House. Oh wow, I was thinking to myself – yum! Chilli Chicken!

So we went in to have our dinner at Chilli Chicken House. First impression – Outside was unassuming. Inside was a pleasant, very clean, quiet little place. It seems like it might be good. Minimalist furnishings, very clean cutlery and table tops, chairs are in good order – very organized. The owner looks nice and friendly.

He gave us a menu in a leatherish covering. Of course, I chose my usual hakka dishes – chilli chicken, hakka chow mein and this time we ordered chicken corn soup to start.

I have to say the food was great! The servings were huge. When I compare it to China Garden, I have to admit Chilli Chicken House comes out on top where the food doesn’t leave you thirsty. I love the chilli chicken dish from China Garden (still my favourite), but the dish I had last night from Chilli Chicken House, I only had to drink to diffuse the spiciness, not because of thirst. Wow, could I ever taste the pepper seeds in the chicken!

I like adding the vinegary hot sauce to the hakka noodles. I’m glad this place had it as well. The noodles are pretty much on par in comparison with China Garden.

I love this place! I live in the west Missisauga area around Erin Mills and was constantly heading across to Meadowvale to get hakka food from Eddie’s Wok N Roll. I got a flier for Chilli Chicken House and went there a few days after they opened and was very pleasantly surprised.
